Tokyo Medical's Award-Winning Waterproof Sheets

Tokyo Medical Co., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has developed an innovative product designed for caregivers, which has recently earned the Good Design Award for 2025. The new Doko Demo Bika Roll (Anywhere Beautification Roll) is a disposable waterproof sheet that is specifically designed to prevent urine stains, significantly easing the cleaning burden for caregivers.

Product Overview

The Doko Demo Bika Roll offers a reliable solution for preventing staining during caregiving. As a disposable product, it alleviates the hassle of laundry, allowing caregivers to focus more on their responsibilities without the added stress of cleaning. In case of accidents, caregivers can simply change clothes instead of worrying about stains seeping through. This sheet features excellent absorbency and is coated with anti-slip and antibacterial properties, making it a versatile and indispensable tool for caregiving.

Specifications

• - Sheet Size (mm): Approximately 500 x 500 (40 sheets per roll)
• - Roll Size (mm): Width 90 x Depth 90 x Height 500, Weight 1020g
• - Material: Non-woven fabric (rayon, polyester), laminated with polyethylene

Award Evaluation

The judges for the Good Design Award praised its effective absorbent and waterproof capabilities, which significantly reduce the laundry and cleaning workload for caregivers. Laundry tasks can be a major source of stress for caregivers struggling with workforce shortages. The disposable, hygienic design not only enhances sustainability in caregiving but is also expected to improve staff retention and working environments. The multi-layer structure, combining non-woven and waterproof materials along with antibacterial and deodorizing features, meets practical demands in caregiving environments.

Design Highlights

1. The sheets use an original fabric featuring a hemp leaf pattern that combines waterproof, absorbent, antibacterial, and deodorizing features.
2. The upper side utilizes highly absorbent non-woven material, while the underside is waterproof, preventing stains from spreading and has an anti-slip finish.
3. This product aims to reduce labor costs associated with laundry, leading to more efficient operations and cost savings in caregiving setups.

Addressing Caregiving Needs

Given the everyday challenges faced by caregivers, this product can be utilized not only around beds but also in wheelchairs and vehicles. Minor leaks and physiological events are common, and by simply laying down this sheet, caregivers can avoid stains on cushions and vehicle seats, saving time and effort in cleaning.

As the aging population continues to grow, Tokyo Medical is committed to developing solutions that promote comfortable caregiving experiences for both providers and recipients. The aim is to create an environment free from the stress associated with household chores, allowing for more joyful interactions.

Although inspired by existing toilet mats, the Doko Demo Bika Roll is a versatile sheet that can be used beyond caregiving, such as in medical settings, during diaper changes for babies, as disaster preparedness supplies, or even for pet care in areas prone to messes. This product demonstrates a sincere consideration for hygiene.
